TSMC reported a strong Q3 with 41% revenue growth, driven by advanced technology accounting for 79% of wafer sales, while Reuters reports surging demand for agentic AI CPUs. Simultaneously, Anthropic revealed nearly 50% quarterly revenue growth ahead of its IPO, underscoring the intense capital expenditure cycle in AI infrastructure. This confirms the structural bullish thesis for semiconductor equipment and AI cloud providers, though tool price inflation warnings suggest margin pressures may emerge in the supply chain.
